MY BUNJEE JUMPING AND YOYO PAST....

Recently a friend of mine called and in the conversation He told me he was travelling to the Aburi Mountains to do some work the following day.

The Aburi Mountains is one of the coolest and nicest places in Ghana.

For a very long time I have been desiring to visit the Mountains and Enjoy the Cool Breeze and views of the mountains.

It was a Wednesday evening and He was living at 5 am the next day.

Without thinking I found myself asking if I could join Him for the journey the next day.

I was fascinated by the opportunity to see these wonderful mountains and in the midst of the excitement and without thinking and taking stock of the things I could do or had to do the next day I had just committed myself to a whole day of NOTHING BUT JUST SIGHT SEEING AND MOUNTAIN WATCHING.....smh

As I sat down and thought of it a second time it reminded me of a past life I was trying to move away from.

IT was  living  life like a Bunjee jumper or a Yoyo just hopping from one position to the other without any purpose or mission BUT only fulfilling my emotional desire of moving from one place to the other.

I would hop from one activity to the other helping others achieve their goals AND GAINING NOTHING EXCEPT THE FUN OF PARTICIPATION!

Unfortunately many are still in this life style which by the way is very symptomatic of a VISION-LESS and PURPOSELESS LIFE which has no DIRECTION except EMOTIONAL SATISFACTION.

God`s plan for our life is tired to a VISION AND A DIRECTION which must be pursued within a certain TIME FRAME. The bible says the one who receives the vision MUST RUN WITH IT .....write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it... Habakuk. 2:2

Sprinters/runners don't have time , getting to the FINISH line is everything and every precious second counts.

To some the bunjee jumping and yoyo way of life is the normal way of living . Living otherwise is like pulling their nostrils.

But I have come to realise that GREATNESS , SUCCESS and ACHIEVEMENT can only come to us WHEN WE LIVE LIKE SPRINTERS , SPEEDING JUST TO HIT THE LIFE LINE !
